This Is LG's New Curved Self-Healing Smartphone, The G Flex 2

LG just unveiled a new version of its curved smartphone, the LG G
Flex 2.

The newer model has a 5.5-inch 1080p display, while the previous
version had a bigger 6-inch screen with a lower 1280 x 720
resolution.

The company is also claiming that the phone can heal itself from
scratches even faster than the previous model. The last version
of the G Flex was able to erase minor scratches and scuffs, but
it took a while and worked better under circumstances with higher
temperatures. This time around, however, LG is claiming the
process will happen even faster.

It's still unclear whether or not there's any advantage in having
a smartphone with a curved screen. Some argue that the screen's
curved properties make it less susceptible to cracks. LG is
claiming that the new phone's curved design make it easier to
grip, but we still have yet to see whether or not curved screens
on phones are more than just a gimmick.
